Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 238 - 230: Resentment Surges All at Once

At five-thirty, Delicious Restaurant started accepting customers.

The customers lined up outside in an orderly fashion entered the restaurant.

Time to start ordering.

The first choice, of course, was the still-new Honeyed Ham~

Perhaps because they weren’t satisfied with lunch, many customers who ordered ahead bought two or more portions of the single-serving Honeyed Ham.

This immediately drew angry stares from those waiting to order at the back.

In less than fifteen minutes,

all the Honeyed Ham, prepared all afternoon, was gone in a flash by the customers at the front of the line.

Whether it was one whole dish or a single serving, it all sold out.

The many customers who couldn’t buy the Honeyed Ham were naturally full of disappointment!

A chubby middle-aged man looked helplessly towards Huang Tao, busy in the kitchen, and said, "Boss Huang, your Honeyed Ham is simply not enough. I’ve come here twice in a row."

These two trips refer to the fact that he came both at lunchtime and dinner time, and there were only two official meals of Honeyed Ham sold.

He had come away empty-handed twice.

He couldn’t help but suggest again, "Why don’t you see if you can make some more for each meal? This feeling of being so close to getting some but then missing out is really annoying!"

He expressed his frustration to Huang Tao.

The other customers waiting to order were also mostly there for the Honeyed Ham.

So, they didn’t mind the chubby middle-aged man’s chattiness and interruption of their ordering.

They all chimed in, "Yeah! Boss Huang, the amount of Honeyed Ham is really pitifully small! We got here before four and still couldn’t buy any."

Not having tasted Huang Tao’s West Lake Vinegar Fish and Honeyed Ham for lunch, everyone was quite frustrated.

And since it’s unknown how long it will take before there’s another chance to have West Lake Vinegar Fish, this sense of helplessness only deepened.

They thought of coming a bit earlier in the evening to have some Honeyed Ham to soothe their wounded spirits.

Who would’ve thought that they still couldn’t get any?

Everyone’s resentment suddenly flared up.

How delicious this Honeyed Ham must taste given its aroma, and yet it’s gone already!

At this moment, everyone’s gaze inadvertently fell on a person’s table with a dish of Honeyed Ham and two single servings beside it. Instantly, they glared at him fiercely.

The chubby middle-aged man suddenly understood why the Honeyed Ham sold out so quickly.

Turns out, some of those in front queued up and bought several portions each, and that’s why those at the back couldn’t buy any!

He helplessly continued calling out, "Boss Huang, look, that person not only bought one Honeyed Ham but also three single servings, isn’t that unfair for him to buy so many at once?"

Huang Tao had never considered this issue, but when those in the front bought many portions in one go, the Honeyed Ham indeed sold out very quickly, showing just how enthusiastic these customers were about it.

A dissatisfied customer proposed, "Yeah, can’t you limit the quantity? It’s only been a little over ten minutes since we started selling! They’re gone, aren’t we just unlucky! I’ve run empty twice, and at this rate, I estimate I’ll run empty again at noon tomorrow. Begging Boss Huang to set a limit!"

The word "limit" suddenly stunned Jiang Han, who was leisurely enjoying his Honeyed Ham, and he panicked.

He quickly said, "Boss Huang, no! Putting a limit would ruin the fun!"

Huang Tao was also quite helpless.

Looking at this group of lovely customers, who bore a grudge for missing out on Honeyed Ham for two meals straight.

He was wondering if he really had to set a limit?

But quite a few customers dine in and take away not just for themselves but also for family or friends.

Setting a limit might not be a good idea!

The customers who couldn’t buy any were getting angrier.

"You’re having a good time eating, but we haven’t even had a single bite yet!"

"Exactly, some should be saved for everyone to try, after all, we came early and stood in the cold wind! Up to now, I haven’t even got to taste what the Honeyed Ham is like, and look at you, eating many people’s portions on your own?"

The chubby middle-aged man, already watching Jiang Han, saw him acting carefree and smug.

A person bought so many portions of Honeyed Ham but didn’t know to keep a low profile, and even shouted that setting a limit wouldn’t be satisfying.

Don’t you know how much resentment those who queued but couldn’t buy any have?

Don’t you know that if his dog at home can’t eat Honeyed Ham, it’ll go berserk and wreck the house? 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"I know this guy, he’s that food vlogger who claimed Boss Huang hired a queueing stooge."

Jiang Han had previously caused quite a stir when he went live trying to debunk Delicious Restaurant, which caused quite a stir at the time.

Being recognized by the chubby middle-aged man is no surprise.

However, after the middle-aged man’s reminder, other customers also instantly recognized him.

"Oh, it’s the food vlogger! No wonder he can eat so much!"

"Hey, who gave this debunker the courage to sit here and eat? Was it Liang Jingru?"

"Hahaha... ended up debunking himself and becoming a loyal fan of Delicious Restaurant?! I wonder if your face hurts?"

Jiang Han: "..."

These are old stories, let them go with time, can we stop bringing them up?

Suddenly drawing all the attention, Jiang Han had to argue with this group of customers.

Among those who love food like him, setting a limit wouldn’t be satisfying!

He certainly wouldn’t let these losers who couldn’t taste the food affect his enjoyment!

He reasoned, "I’m sure everyone knows the principle of first come, first served! Besides, isn’t first come, first served very fair? You came late and couldn’t buy any, so don’t make a fuss."

The customers who couldn’t buy any Honeyed Ham: "..."

They sulked, "Fine, remember what you said now, don’t let us be the first in line next time, or else we’ll buy everything, and you won’t get any."

"Hey, hey, if you do that, that’s not right. I only bought the amount for my meal with no ill intention to monopolize, what you plan to do is mean."

Jiang Han, while grabbing another bite of Honeyed Ham, calmly bickered with these people.

He was quick with his words.

And it didn’t delay him from savoring the delicious Honeyed Ham one bit.

The customers beside them, who weren’t able to eat the Honeyed Ham, argued while smelling the aroma and seeing Jiang Han enjoy it so much, their throats involuntarily moved, and their stomachs embarrassingly grumbled.

"Let’s stop arguing with him for now, we’ll get him next time if we get the chance."

Seeing the impasse, Huang Tao had no choice but to say, "Everyone, setting a limit isn’t feasible, but rest assured, we’re also working on expanding the shop and hiring more chefs, as for the Honeyed Ham, we’ll try to prepare more within our capability tomorrow."

Hearing this, these customers finally had some hope.

They went to use the self-service ordering machine or to find Ding Suqin to order their food.

Better than any other dishes being ordered by other customers.

If that happened,

People would really want to cry!
